I have been watching and reading about the birth certificate issue for a long time now and as each day passes it is obviously building up to a crashendo, something sooner or later will have to give, sooner or later Obama will have to prove he is a naturally born citizen.
If he is; there must be some ramifications, what fool would spend so much money and so much doubt with the populace if he were lagit? So there must be something that he does not want us to see if he is a true naturally born citizen.
If he is not? Well we may have all sorts of problems! First of all; it is a felony to take money under false pretenses! A billion dollars for your campaign would likely add up to a lot of felonies. I am sure the laws he may have broken would be a mile long.
So how would the public react to their president being arrested? Will race be an issue at this point? I don't think so. My personal opinion is that if the average American found out that this whole time he was being deceived I think most would be very pissed! He won't have a chance! People across the board will be horrified that it was all a charade! The second people knew it was all a falsehood he will be instantly be toast!
Say hello to President Biden and VP Pelosi, unless they knew as well, if so they will finish off the sandwich and the dems for years to come, not to mention the press.
Let’s just say I am looking forward to it.
It won’t happen, but since half the nation thinks he walks on water, and the other half knows he’s destroying the country - it would be civil war.
Nothing will ever come of this.
This will be a non issue until he hits 35% approval, then it will be easy
"I dunno!"
Yep - civil war...
Donuts?
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmargrle
“What happens if he is not legally President?”
Civil War.
Nice typso. Pingworthy?
Good question. I’m no lawyer. I was thinking about this before too.
If he was not legally a candidate - non-natural born citizen ... [some of my own questions]
Would the election be null and void? Would the USSC say there must be a ‘Do Over’? [I think Biden would waltz into the Oval Office - another unelected President - just following the Succession Order]
Executive Orders signed are null and void?
Bills passed by Congress and signed are null and void?
Would there be fraud suit in civil courts?
Would the House still have to impeach and the Senate try? Or is the USSC decision sufficient?
Who would physically remove him from office? His AG? [Right]
Remove him to where? His old Chicago home or jail?
If the Dem Party knew his was unqualified, what would the be guilty of? Same for Howard Dean or any others (Sen. Reid, Rep. Pelosi, etc)? Would it be a conspiracy charge? [Civil courts and criminal courts would be full - if federal attorneys would press the charges.]
Good question you raise. And it raises so many more that it could boggle the mind.
Huge, raucous celebration parties?
[just guessin’]
Which is perfectly fine. Being labeled a racist by the racist commies is a badge of honor.
“Nothing will ever come of this.”
Certainly nothing good.
Suppose he, The Anointed One, manages to handle the simple tasks of TelePrompTer reading and smiling a lot, so badly that he causes a degree of regret among the hierarchy that is propping him up, and they take it upon themselves to release the facts about his actual nativity and national allegiance. The Indonesian Candidate is shamed and he flees the country, to be replaced by - Joe Biden. Hardly an improvement, as Joe has never mastered the art of TelePrompTer reading, and when he is left to his own resources, he can really muff it.
The vision for the country does not essentially change.
What will happen if he is not legally President?
He will change the title to TOTUS Contingency Dude.
Will race be an issue at this point? I don’t think so. My personal opinion is that if the average American found out that this whole time he was being deceived I think most would be very pissed! He won’t have a chance! People across the board will be horrified that it was all a charade! The second people knew it was all a falsehood he will be instantly be toast!
I disagree they’ll say “yeah he’s wrong”..and shouldn’t have been elected, but however now that he has been..it’s too late, there would be ‘too much damage’ to the nation if he were removed (which, as a result of his staying would cause further problems), but he would be allowed to stay, but everything he did would be questioned (on legal grounds), and this would come to a head..it wouldn’t be pretty!! I say just leave Obama in there and annihilate him in the 2010 midterm elections!
There would be all sorts of legal questions as to status of laws signed into effect during his term. Laws would probably stand.
No real world criminal charge against Obama.
If he pardoned criminals in last hours of his presidency, pardons would probably stick.
Of course, I can argue the other side of this legal issue, that he would not be removed from office, but from a legal viewpoint, he never really held it, which would open huge legal cans of worms.
The overriding legal question would be, was he really ever POTUS?
Which develops all sorts of great legal questions. What about a Speaker who was a naturalized citizen? Are they in the constitutional line?
There are two possiblities: either the Certificate of Live Birth proves Obama is not a natural born citizen, or it contains something that disproves part of his self-inflating autobiography.
I rather hope we get to find out which it is soon.
For those of you calling “civil war”, I’m curious just who you think would make up the sides.
Sure, you’d have a bunch of deadbeat thugs in da hood rioting because somebody wants to take their been-uh-feets, but they’d just be trashing their own failed neighborhoods.
You’d also have the sniveling reporters, Hollywood types, and other pseudo-intellectuals with their usual pro-government/confiscation/redistribution/socialist whining.
But aside from that noise, how exactly do you see a conflict playing out, and what real people would make up the sides?
